Review: Solid protection - - I have used this chest protector for one season, approximately 60 games. During that time, I only had one 'hit' that was felt. It was between the shoulder cap and the upper extension of the body protector. It was not even close to being debilitating, just a good shot. Any other foul tips were of no consequence. Getting it on and off was not a problem, the clips and straps always seemed to end up in the right position, not twisting etc. I always used the arm extensions and did not have any problem with them. The biggest concern was that it seemed to absorb moisture, and I sweat a lot. Its material was absorbent (took a day to appear dry, don't know if it in fact was on the interior) and as a result had to be washed/rinsed frequently or the 'man smell' was quite obvious. But maybe that should be expected when working 2-3-4 games in 90 degree heat. Would have been nice if the manufacturer would have included recommended cleaning procedures. I just put it on the top rack of the dishwasher and ran it without soap. Seems to have held up and I am getting ready for the second season. Will update this if I notice anything resulting from my washing method. Review: Great protection and comfortable. - This is a great chest protector. I have used it for three seasons now, and have yet to take a shot that does any damage. You feel very well protected while wearing this, and it is very light. I wear it with an undershirt, but it seems to wick sweat pretty well. Easy to put on, and doesn't make you look like Robocop when you have it under your shirt. ## Features - I chest protector - DCP-iX3 UMP Umpire's Deluxe Chest Protector, features Diamond's new lightweight iX3 breathable technology - The perfect combination of plastic and 3 layer breathable foam padding for unsurpassed protection and comfort - Designed with contoured padding/plastic for the perfect fit - Diamond Sports products are guaranteed against defects in workmanship and materials for 1 year ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000AUG6EO | | Age Range (Description) | Youth | | Age Range Description | Youth | | Best Sellers Rank | #367,143 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #206 in Baseball & Softball Catcher Chest Protectors | | Brand | Diamond Sports | | Brand Name | Diamond Sports | | Closure Type | Pull-On | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 35 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00039403782176 | | Included Components | Chest Protector | | Item Dimensions | 20 x 15 x 7 inches | | Item Type Name | DCP-iX3 Umpire Chest Protector (EA) | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 20 x 15 x 7 inches | | Manufacturer | Diamond | | Material | nylon, polyester, foam, plastic | | Material Type | nylon, polyester, foam, plastic | | Sport | Baseball | | Sport Type | Baseball | | Strap Type | Adjustable | | UPC | 039403782176 | ## Images ![Diamond Sports DCP-IX3 Lightweight Umpire's Chest Protetctor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81T+G3eF46L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid protection - *by J***J on January 6, 2013* I have used this chest protector for one season, approximately 60 games.

I have used it for three seasons now, and have yet to take a shot that does any damage. You feel very well protected while wearing this, and it is very light. I wear it with an undershirt, but it seems to wick sweat pretty well. Easy to put on, and doesn't make you look like Robocop when you have it under your shirt. ### ⭐⭐ For a slim build only, not worth the price overall *by M***X on June 5, 2025* The product is indeed lightweight, but that's where the positives end. The torso portion is narrow, not enough to cover the sides of an even slightly larger than average person (I'm 5'11', 228). It is also too long, with the lower edge ending up driving into the crotch when you crouch. The snaps look and feel flimsy. The shoulder pads are poorly designed and keep flipping over, even with a shirt over them. The bicep pads, while a nice idea, are way too bulky and make arm movements difficult. They are detachable, but if you take them off, then really, what's the point of buying this particular product when there are comparable ones at considerably less available? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2096298-diamond-sports-dcp-ix3-lightweight-umpires-chest-protetctor](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2096298-diamond-sports-dcp-ix3-lightweight-umpires-chest-protetctor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
